A daughter getting married surely is distracting !! It was a beautiful beach wedding and my daughter and new son (in law) are relaxing in Jamaica ! Back to normal now, I think.

The piece I am showing is a work in progress. It has been in progress for quite a while.

My desire is to work on some more nostalgic pieces. (Is my age showing ??) This is from a photo taken by a friend of mine quite a few years ago ( transistor radio is a dead give-away) . I love the photo. They seem to be part of an idyllic time and place. Makes me want to go there. Anyway, I have a long way to go on this one. I will update my progress as I go. I am determined to finish this by the end of the month if not sooner. Refusing to use anything but fabric in my work (no pen, ink, paint or marker for defining lines or shading) makes it a bit daunting and even frustrating at times, but overall, I love the challenge , or I wouldn't continue to attempt it.
Hope to show an update soon !!

I am a Fabric Collage Artist and Interior Design Seamstress. Fabric collage is an art medium that utilizes many, many pieces of fabric, layered in such a way as to create an image. It really is the applique technique taken to the nth degree. By choosing fabrics for their texture, value and hue, one can achieve the same effects present in an oil, acrylic or watercolor painting. It might be called "painting with fabric". Through my blog , www.lynettelwilliams.blogspot.com , I explore a bit of the techniques and process for my fabric collage art and my website , www.lynettelwilliams.com, showcases most of the fabric collages I have done as well as current projects.
